Our Approach

Topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion are sometime difficult to discuss. Our approach to all these topics, and related concepts, are from an academic perspective. That is, we use science and historical evidence as the foundation of our trainings. Some information may be difficult to accept or cause some discomfort. NTIRE trainers work from a place of evidence and empathy, not guilt, shame, and blame. Although we cover sensitive topics, we infuse humor, interactive exercises, introspection, and optimism into our sessions. Our attendees leave our trainings feeling informed, motivated, and empowered to improve themselves, their organization and society as a whole.
